Preamble:
With her enthusiasm for the role, Xin Zhilei successfully played the heroine of the new drama in the ridicule of everyone, and Lan Yingying also seized the opportunity in "Sister Lang 1" by directly expressing her position.
Faced with a difficult choice, they firmly chose to fight for it, and finally got the roles and development opportunities they wanted.
However, when we stand in their position, can we also stick to our original intention and not let the environment affect the choice?
Xin Zhilei interviewed for the role of Xia Mingyue and showed a strong desire to perform
In 2021, director Zhang Xiaochuan adapted the hit web series "The Moon Embracing the Stars" based on his original story.
After reading the script, Xin Zhilei was deeply attracted by the image of the heroine Xia Mingyue, a girl with a tragic fate.
As a post-90s flower, Xin Zhilei's family was not well-off since she was a child, and she saw all the hardships and hardships that Xia Mingyue experienced in her adolescence, and couldn't help but think that she had a similar experience - her parents divorced, the family pillar collapsed, and she was forced to give up her studies and work to support herself.
Perhaps it is this resonance with the background of the characters that makes Xin Zhilei and Xia Mingyue have a deeper connection.
While reading the script, Xin Zhilei found herself moved to tears by several poignant scenes depicting Xia Mingyue's silent suffering and inner turmoil.
She began to imagine herself fully embodying the character – her mannerisms, her emotional ups and downs, her mysterious dreams and bitter remorse.
Xin Zhilei felt that if she had the opportunity, she could "become" Xia Mingyue and truly be worthy of her on the screen.
In order to fight for the opportunity to perform, she took the initiative to contact director Zhang Xiaochuan to apply for an interview.
During the first interview, Director Zhang asked her to go back first and wait for the notice.
However, a week has passed, and Xin Zhilei has never received any news.
She understands that the competition for this role is fierce and she has to express her resolve more aggressively.
With each passing day, she misses the character more intensely.
Xin Zhilei began to repeatedly figure out Xia Mingyue's character - a seemingly weak and introverted girl, but she showed an amazingly strong will in a difficult environment.
She imagines herself as Xia Mingyue all the time to experience her mental journey.
As the days passed without news, Xin Zhilei found that he missed the character Xia Mingyue more and more.
She will think over and over again about Natsu's character – a girl who seems timid and introverted, but shows amazing resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.
Xin Zhilei constantly imagines himself as Xia Mingyue, trying to empathize with her emotional journey.
This desire only strengthened her resolve to fight for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
So, Xin Zhilei contacted the crew again and asked for a new interview.
The audition was held in a small venue, and the audience was filled with other interested young actors.
Xin Zhilei understood that this was a rare opportunity, and she mustered up the courage to directly express her strong desire to play Xia Mingyue in front of everyone:
"Director, I think this character is simply tailor-made for me, and she is very much in line with what happened to me as a child.
I can fully integrate into her emotional world to interpret this character, I am the only one!"
Maybe it was the pure passion in Xin Zhilei's voice, or maybe she seemed to have completely "become" Xia Mingyue at that moment.
But her words clearly resonated with Director Zhang.
In Xin Zhilei's expectant gaze, he nodded his head almost imperceptibly.
Although they have to wait for the final decision, in her heart Xin Zhilei feels that she may really have a chance to make a difference in this area.
The audition was ridiculed, but she successfully played the heroine
The actresses who were originally whispering in the audience all quieted down when they heard this, and they all looked at Xin Zhilei one after another, with surprise and weirdness in their eyes.
Xin Zhilei felt these strange gazes, and knew in her heart that her statement might be a little abrupt, but the opportunity was rare, and she couldn't care about it so much.
It is likely that the other actresses were threatened by the original beliefs in Xin Qiji's words.
Who was this unknown young woman who dared to claim that she was the perfect candidate for the protagonist of their dreams? Xin Zhilei sensed their surprise and suspicion.
But now that she has come this far, she refuses to back down or temper her enthusiasm, even under their judgmental gaze.
This is a big opportunity for her – she has to take a risk and give it her all.
After the audition, Xin Zhilei heard the actresses talk about her words and deeds in the locker room: "It's too shameless, how can anyone express their desire to perform so directly, it's like feeling good about themselves at home!"
"It's just an audition, it's so serious, she's a newcomer who doesn't know the rules!"
In the face of these cynicisms, Xin Zhilei didn't care.
She believes that by expressing her thoughts and determination honestly, the director will be able to appreciate her passion for the role.
Sure enough, a month later, she received a call from the director and officially confirmed to play the role of Xia Mingyue.
Other actresses have been talking about and laughing at her later bold performances.
But Xin Zhilei couldn't listen to their mean words.
She believes that Director Zhang can feel her sincerity and persistence.
Sure enough, a month later she receives a magical call from him, confirming that she is the protagonist of his latest masterpiece.
"The Moon Embracing the Stars" broke 2 ratings after it was broadcast, and Xin Zhilei's wonderful performance also won unanimous praise from the audience and film critics.
Those who laughed at her were now silent.
Xin Zhilei also shared her experience in the interview: "If an actor does not have a strong desire to perform, it is difficult to drive himself to go all out to interpret a role.
I hope that you will not be discouraged by the eyes of others, and that it is the right way to express your heart's desires bravely. ”
Lan Yingying bluntly accepted the challenge of the strong team, which attracted strange eyes from others
In the variety show "Sister Lang 1", Lan Yingying also showed a unique directness and bravery.
In the process of reorganizing the team, the host announced that he would draw one member from each of the original teams to form a new "Tranquility Group".
The strength of the Tranquility Group is the strongest in the audience, so all the contestants are eager to be selected in the lottery.
Unsurprisingly, all the contestants were eager to get that spot, but they were careful to hide their intentions and not want to appear too eager.
Everyone waits for others to come forward tentatively.
It's everyone except Lan Yingying.
As soon as the host announced the new combination, her hand was raised straight up when the others hesitated:
"I sincerely welcome the opportunity to take on new challenges and grow in collaboration with different teammates.
As the finals approach, I will do my best to make Ning Jing the best team I can be!"
Perhaps it was her blunt attitude that surprised the others.
There were a few embarrassed coughs and dodgy looks.
As the other girls were about to start explaining how they could also be Ning Jing's assets, Lan Yingying was quickly confirmed as the latest member to join.
Despite some annoyance at Blue stealing the limelight from them, even her critics have to admire her bold candor with admiration.
When everyone pushed me and let me, polite on the surface but the dark tide was surging, Lan Yingying raised her hand and did not hide her thoughts: "I hope to accept new challenges with my brand-new teammates and impact the finals!"
The scene was silent for a while, and everyone was surprised by Lan Yingying's direct statement.
Lan Yingying could actually see other people's thoughts, but she didn't want to be polite or secretive when expressing her thoughts.
The opportunity was in front of her, and she decisively chose to fight for it herself.
In the end, Lan Yingying got her wish and became a member of the Tranquility Group.
In the following competitions, she and her new teammates also became more and more compatible, and finally won the championship of this season.
The courage to express oneself lays a good foundation for exercising internal and external qualities
Whether it is Xin Zhilei striving to play the heroine of the new drama, or Lan Yingying directly expressing the idea of accepting new challenges, their courage to express their stance and bold actions have laid a good foundation and allowed them to take a key step in their careers.
Shin and Blue's willingness to articulate their desires and fight unapologetically for what they want has laid an important foundation for their eventual career success.
We all have our own dreams and ambitions lurking inside, but most hesitate to unequivocally declare them in front of others.
It takes a lot of courage and self-confidence to speak directly about your goals, rather than expressing them with weak advice, hoping that others will approve of you first.
Xinhe Blue's audacity allowed them to take the initiative and take that crucial first step.
In the face of all kinds of eyes from the outside world, they continue to insist on themselves without being affected by the environment, and this inner quality is very valuable.
At the same time, daring to boldly express their stance also exercises their external qualities, which is especially important in the entertainment industry.
As Xin Zhilei said, without a little competitiveness and ambition, it is difficult to stand out in this circle.
Each of us has dreams and desires in our hearts, but we are often afraid to express them because of various concerns.
The story of Xin Zhilei and Lan Yingying inspires us that only by facing our hearts sincerely and bravely making statements and actions can we pave the way for our dreams and ultimately realize our self-worth.
Epilogue:
In the face of opportunities, do we prefer to fight for or give up? Xin Zhilei and Lan Yingying gave us the answer.
Choose to be brave and bold in your stance! You don't have to be in the eyes of the unexpected world, and you can exercise your internal and external qualities by daring to show yourself.
Fighting for tough opportunities can lay a critical foundation for career development.
Whenever we hesitate to take a stand, think about the moment when they decisively choose to fight, and you will definitely muster up the courage to move towards your dreams!
